Björk Guðmundsdóttir is easily one of the most identifiable yet private creatures on the face of this or any planet.

I have written at length about Björk before HERE, so today I would like to just compile some of my favorite songs she has created. A little bit of Icelandic jazz with with the jazz group Tríó Guðmundar Ingólfssonar, some with The Sugarcubes (nothing like the birth of a child to make you want to start a band) and some being her solo work. Because I have long loved Björk, it is difficult to narrow down my favorite tunes so I decided to post 2 songs from each period.

hi, i'm *j and I will be your server today

After nearly a year of Song of the Day posts on Facebook I am starting a music blog. For those days when just a few characters isn't enough to fill my musical thoughts.This is meant as a journal for teaching my kids about the importance of music and music history. Monday through Saturday will be generally be rock related, though not always. Sundays we will go into other genres from Swing to Jazz to Musicals to Classical. Not sure if you'll read me, not sure if you'll care. But you are invited to tune in to check out new and old tunes with me in bite-sized digestible trax.*j
